Abstract

Claims (58)

1. A method for remote browser isolation (RBI) protected browsing, the method comprising:

initiating, by a device, RBI protected browsing via an RBI server; and

displaying, by the device, an RBI protected browser, a border at least partially around the RBI protected browser, and a security feature within the border, wherein the border and the security feature indicate the RBI protected browsing to a user;

wherein the border includes an outer border edge and an inner border edge, and wherein the inner border edge is directly adjacent to at least one edge of the RBI protected browser;

wherein the border is colored between the outer border edge and the inner border edge and the security feature is at least one of security text and an icon;

wherein the security feature is repeated multiple times between the inner border edge and the outer border edge; and

wherein the repeated security features are separated from the inner border edge and from the outer border edge by a distance that is at least humanly visible.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

displaying a first security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the RBI protected browsing;

triggering an RBI protected browsing action, wherein the RBI protected browsing action is triggered by the RBI protected browsing; and

displaying a second security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the RBI protected browsing action.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the security feature changes from the first security feature to the second security feature when the RBI protected browsing action is triggered.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

displaying a first security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the RBI protected browsing;

triggering a block uploads RBI protected browsing action, wherein the block uploads RBI protected browsing action is triggered by the RBI protected browsing; and

displaying a second security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the block uploads RBI protected browsing action.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

displaying a first security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the RBI protected browsing;

triggering a read only RBI protected browsing action, wherein the read only RBI protected browsing action is triggered by the RBI protected browsing; and

displaying a second security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the read only RBI protected browsing action.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

displaying a first security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the RBI protected browsing;

triggering a preview downloads RBI protected browsing action, wherein the preview downloads RBI protected browsing action is triggered by the RBI protected browsing; and

displaying a second security feature within the border as the security feature that indicates the preview downloads RBI protected browsing action.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

triggering an RBI protected browsing action, wherein the RBI protected browsing action is triggered by the RBI protected browsing;

blocking the RBI protected browsing action; and

indicating the blocked RBI protected browsing action via at least one of the border and the security feature.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

triggering an RBI protected browsing action, wherein the RBI protected browsing action is triggered by the RBI protected browsing; and

displaying an indication of the RBI protected browsing action via at least one of the border and the security feature.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein displaying the indication of the RBI protected browsing action via at least one of the border and the security feature includes at least one of:

changing a color of the border;

flashing the color of the border;

displaying a pop-up security feature message;

changing a font typeface of the security feature;

changing a font size of the security feature;

changing an iconographic visualization of the security feature;

changing a color of a hyperlink corresponding to the RBI protected browsing action; and

changing a first security feature to a second security feature.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating the RBI protected browsing includes:

transmitting, by the device to the RBI server, an instruction to provide computer readable code that includes instructions to display the RBI protected browsing via the GUI; and

receiving, by the device from the RBI server, the computer readable code that includes instructions to display the RBI protected browsing via the GUI.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating the RBI protected browsing includes:

transmitting, by the device to the RBI server, an instruction to provide computer readable code that includes instructions to indicate the RBI protected browsing by at least the border and the security feature; and

receiving, by the device from the RBI server, the computer readable code that includes instructions to indicate the RBI protected browsing by at least the border and the security feature.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

pushing, by the RBI server to the device, the RBI protected browsing; and

rendering, by the device, the RBI protected browsing.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RBI protected browsing protects the device from performing an RBI protected browsing action.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the RBI protected browsing action is at least one of remote browser protection, read only, preview downloads, allow downloads, block uploads, and full interaction.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions to be executed in a computer system, wherein the instructions when executed in the computer system perform a method comprising:

initiating remote browser isolation (RBI) protected browsing via an RBI server; and

displaying an RBI protected browser, a border at least partially around the RBI protected browser, and a security feature within the border, wherein the border and the security feature indicate the RBI protected browsing to a user;

wherein the border includes an outer border edge and an inner border edge, and wherein the inner border edge is directly adjacent to at least one edge of the RBI protected browser;

wherein the border is colored between the outer border edge and the inner border edge and the security feature is at least one of security text and an icon;

wherein the security feature is repeated multiple times between the inner border edge and the outer border edge; and

wherein the repeated security features are separated from the inner border edge and from the outer border edge by a distance that is at least humanly visible.
